Town of <strong>Norwood</strong> Snow & Ice Policy<br />
A message from the <strong>Norwood</strong> Public Works Department<br />
This information provides a<br />
general overview of our snow<br />
and ice program, winter tips and<br />
also seeks your support in providing<br />
safe streets and sidewalks during<br />
snow and ice emergencies.<br />
The Town of <strong>Norwood</strong>’s Public<br />
Works Department is responsible<br />
for removing snow from and<br />
de-icing 110 miles of roadway<br />
and 6 municipal parking lots in<br />
the winter season. The Town also<br />
plows 31 miles of sidewalk to ensure<br />
safe passage for pedestrians.<br />
The Public Works Department<br />
uses 5 large salt (de-icing)<br />
trucks to de-ice roadways. When<br />
conditions warrant the plowing<br />
of roadways to make them safe,<br />
the Town uses 26 municipal vehicles<br />
and up to 30 contracted<br />
pieces of equipment on 32 plow<br />
routes.<br />
Many factors can determine<br />
the Town’s response to a snow<br />
event, some of which may include:<br />
• the temperatures before, during<br />
and after a storm;<br />
• the amount of accumulated<br />
snow;<br />
• the duration of the storm;<br />
• the road surface temperature;<br />
• the weather forecast for the<br />
following days<br />
Plan of Operations:<br />
When the snow starts falling,<br />
salt trucks are dispatched to<br />
apply de-icing materials such as<br />
road salt and liquid magnesium<br />
chloride to keep the roads safe.<br />
When 2-3 inches of snow has<br />
accumulated on the streets, the<br />
snow plowing operation usually<br />
begins.<br />
Once the snow stops falling<br />
and the roads have been plowed,<br />
the streets will again be treated<br />
with de-icing materials to prevent<br />
a freeze-up of the road surface.<br />
Department personnel will<br />
then clear intersections and plow<br />
sidewalks and parking lots.<br />
Black Road Policy<br />
Within four hours after the<br />
storm has ended, it is the policy<br />
of the <strong>Norwood</strong> Public Works<br />
Department to have a bare<br />
(black) road surface on all main<br />
streets and arterial collectors.<br />
Residential side streets and culde-sacs<br />
will also receive similar<br />
treatment but may take longer to<br />
have a bare (black) road surface.<br />
Parking Bans:<br />
<strong>Norwood</strong> Town By-law (Article<br />
XII, Section 30) prohibits<br />
parking a vehicle on a street<br />
so as to interfere with the snow<br />
plowing or removal of snow or<br />
ice. Such vehicles will be subject<br />
to towing at the expense of the<br />
vehicle’s owner. <strong>Norwood</strong>’s Parking<br />
Regulations also prohibit<br />
parking of vehicles for longer<br />
than 2 hours, 12 a.m. - 6 a.m.,<br />
on any street or Town owned<br />
parking facility from November<br />
15th through April 1st.<br />
Plow Damage:<br />
The Town is not responsible<br />
for damaged lawns, sprinkler<br />
heads, fences, steps, trees or<br />
shrubs that are located within the<br />
public way.<br />
The Town will be responsible<br />
for mailboxes that are physically<br />
hit by a plow. However, mailboxes<br />
will not be repaired if they<br />
are in a deteriorated condition or<br />
are damaged by snow pushback.<br />
Mailboxes and posts damaged<br />
by a snowplow will be fixed and/<br />
or replaced by the Town with a<br />
standard wooden post and black<br />
box. The Town will provide a<br />
check in the amount of $50.00<br />
for homeowner’s use for any specialty<br />
mailbox and/or post that<br />
cannot be repaired.<br />
All plow damage must be<br />
reported to the Public Works<br />
